Hock, J., Goh, C. and Li, Y. (2016) Hybrid Evolutionary Shape Manipulation for Efficient Hull Form Design Optimisation. In: 15th International Conference on Computer Applications and Information Technology in the Maritime Industries (COMPIT 2016:), Lecce, Italy, 9-11 May 2016,

Abstract

‘Eco-friendly shipping’ and fuel efficiency are gaining much attention in the maritime industry due to increasingly stringent environmental regulations and volatile fuel prices. The shape of hull affects the overall performance in efficiency and stability of ships. Despite the advantages of simulation-based design, the application of a formal optimisation process in actual ship design work is limited. A hybrid approach which integrates a morphing technique into a multi-objective genetic algorithm to automate and optimise the hull form design is developed. It is envisioned that the proposed hybrid approach will improve the hydrodynamic performance as well as overall efficiency of the design process.
